Downloadable Order to CSV File
Cart contents may be downloaded in csv file format, which is often compatible for requisitions and approvals within procurement systems. At the top of the shopping cart page is an option to “Download Cart”. Once clicked, cart contents will be exported to a csv file.
This action exports data but does not save cart content. To save cart content, select Move to List or Move All to List and create a new list. Please note that you must be logged in or create an account if you don’t already have one to create a list.
School Discounts
If your school purchases a large quantity of art supplies throughout the year, we invite you to contact our Institutional Sales Department for details about Blick’s discount program.
Note: Discounts are applied to the base price, labeled “each”, as listed in Blick’s annual printed catalog titled “Materials for Art Education.” Drop shipped items, quantity break pricing, and website pricing will not receive a discount. When shopping at DickBlick.com, you will receive the lower of the quantity break price for which your order qualifies, the web price, or your discount off the catalog base price once your discount code has been applied to your shopping cart.
